In this activity, learners explore the relationship between electric charges and magnetic fields.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners discover that a magnet falls more slowly through a metallic tube than it does through a nonmetallic tube.

In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to build their own compass.

With a magnet, iron fillings, and a bottle, you can create a cool demonstration about magnetic lines of force: the fillings will arrange themselves within the magnet's magnetic field.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of magnetic fields by inserting a small, strong magnet into a sphere.

Using indirect observational methods, learners distinguish between charged and uncharged objects.

In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.

In this activity, learners build an electromagnet using a nail, a cork, a battery, and electrical wire. Use this activity to demonstrate how electric currents produce magnet fields.
